Worry-Free – Inter Milan Avoid Drama To Manage 3-1 Serie A Win Vs Cagliari | OneFootball

Inter Milan managed a relatively “worry-free” Serie A win over Cagliari to put the pressure on Napoli in the title race.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They praise the Nerazzurri’s second half display.

Inter Milan may have felt that they’d “seen this movie before” when Roberto Piccoli headed home for Cagliari at the start of the second half of yesterday’s Serie A clash.

The Nerazzurri were 2-0 up at halftime of the match.

That was identical to their last two matches in the league. They had blown Udinese and Parma away in the first half, giving themselves a seemingly solid advantage.

But that certainty evaporated in the second half of both those matches.

Against Udinese, Inter did manage to hold on for the three points. But they had to survive an almighty scare after Oumar Solet got a goal back for the Friulani.

And away in Parma last weekend, it was even worse – Inter actually allowed the hosts to equalize and take a point.

Considering this precedent, Inter will have had reason to worry that it would be a familiar story against Cagliari.

But the Nerazzurri didn’t switch off after the Rossoblu’s goal.

On the contrary, it only seemed to be a wake-up call for Inter.

Just a few minutes later, Yann Bisseck headed home from a corner to restore Inter’s two-goal cushion.

And that just seemed to completely change the dynamic of the match.

Inter were no longer just holding on. They had reasserted themselves.

And from then on, it was a patient and balanced performance from the Nerazzurri. They controlled the tempo and protected their goal well.

And the reward was three points to really put Napoli under pressure ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Empoli.
